Quote by Chloe Gong

“Without her looks, this city would turn on her. It would claim that she didn’t deserve to be as competent as she was. The men, meanwhile, could be as tan, as fat, and as old as they wished. It would have no bearing on what people thought of them.”

“En cierto sentido, Mesalina se asemeja a Agripina y las valoraciones de las que es objeto reflejan la irresistible comparación. [...] La principal diferencia, al menos en términos de imagen, estaba en su vida privada. Agripina, como veremos, se valía del sexo como una herramienta para obtener sus fines políticos. Para Mesalina, por el contrario, el sexo representaba, a manos llenas y con cuántos hombres fuera posible, un fin en sí mismo. O eso se nos pide que creamos.”
